Paul: "Now that I've killed who I wanted to kill, I don't have to pretend to be nice all the time."
Grayven: "I just got Lex flippin' Luthor speaking with the blue light of hope."
 
I know that in Percy Jackson and the Olympians, the Bermuda Triangle is the "weird shit" area, which may include the Amazons. Certainly, it's common in fanfiction.
Well, actually, we know that the Amazons aren't there in canon because they're busy running Amazon.

In Justice League Action is were Buster Gold put his dinosaurs island.

And let's face it, if you want to put some sort of secret magic island untouched by man you put it there.

And this might be a Young Justice fanfic but even without the SI is still an AU. Example, Alan Scoot not being dead at the start of the first episode plot.

In some continues there is a Gate to Tartarus on the island and Hades likes to break free and invade. Plus ya know Ares is an asshole. And of course there is all those evil wizards that want the Amazons secret treasures.

All of this is canon in some continuities so they are only siting in their ass doing nothing because Zoat wants it that way.

Heck by current DC canon Felix Faust or another powerful evil mage should have attacked the island already.

And Young Justice would have used that plot if they had Diana Troy as part of the Team.
 
...if Grayven has actually managed to reform Luthor, or... con him into reforming himself?... I will be amazed.

Right now, I think I'll take a "distrust but verify" stance.
 
I'm running it as not for profit. My reward is that I get to be the man who leads the Human race back into space. And I intend to give your father full credit for his work. How does a… Theodore Knight Foundation sound?"

I get that Lex is 100% serious, but if you can't see his emotions, he still manages to sound smarmy and crooked anyway.
 
Okay this reminds me, according to the wikis, Starman's rod can make energy constructs.

I never read enough of that run to know how advanced it is, but I would think that humanity perhaps taking its steps in a virtual matter age ala the Maltusians is something to celebrate in addition to space exploration and clean effectively infinitely renewable energy.

Never did get how starman's rod didn't replenish itself during the day. The sun is just another star for crying out loud.

I wonder if hybrid solar/starlight panels are a possibility. Or perhaps Zoat is ignoring that bit of weirdness.
 
In Percy Jackson, the Amazons aren't there...it's the Sea of Monsters that's in there.

The Amazons run Amazon.com in that universe...though Circe did have a resort island there until the heroes let loose Blackbeard and a bunch of pirates who kind of wrecked it as they left the place.
Literally the second line in my comment, because I remembered it while halfway through writing it. But IIRC the Sea of Monsters is basically just the "weird shit that can only be reached by boat resides here" place, which is why both Circe and the cyclops I can't remember the name of were there. So it would totally have been possible for the Amazons to live in the Sea of Monsters, they just didn't because they wanted to establish world domination by controlling the shipping industry or something like that.
 
"I want to build a fleet. It's long past time humanity extended its reach into deep space. And with your father's technology, we can make that happen
So it looks like Grayven is making impressive inroads to getting Lex to forgive him for the whole Light fiasco. The thing that jumps out the most to me in this scene though is a lack of Mercy.

Also at this point I think it's a toss up whether Lex or Grayven will put a cheesecake picture of Mercy firing her plasma arm on the nose cone of Lex's first space ship. Because if Lex doesn't do it himself, I could easily see Grayven doing it to troll them both.:ogles:
 
Paul: "Now that I've killed who I wanted to kill, I don't have to pretend to be nice all the time."
Grayven: "I just got Lex flippin' Luthor speaking with the blue light of hope."

Fun thing is, Oh EL made the same mistake he blames the Greenies of doing, basically running too much with a single emotion light, while Grayven is using several.

And modern Starrods work with sun energy toi, they are just not that poweful. See Stargirl in Justice League Action.

Then again she might not know how to do anything with her Starrod besides the basics.

Or her family just have her a basic starrod cause teenagers.

You don't give kids nukes, right?

lex is still a massive bastard, but right now he's working to further his dream of being the man to lead humanity to a golden age. Though if a robot shoots Superman with a starod derived weapon at some point in the future I would not be surprised.

See, the whole benefit of orange light negotiation is that you don't have to reform anyone. Just convince them that your way is better for them, and they're in. Angelica Blaze will join the Justice League not because she really shares any of its ideals, but because it's in her interests not to stare at a wall all day waiting for her brother to find her and then torture her eternally. Lex isn't reformed, he was simply shown a way of getting what he wants that both isn't dumb and helps other people.

"I bought the patents myself, in my capacity as a private citizen. I already have people scouting possible locations for the production facility. Or…" He glances back at the Starseeker. "Perhaps facilities."
I don't know if it works the same in the UK, but in the US patenting something requires sending the blueprints for it along side in many cases a working prototype to the US government.

At which point the US government along side any government contractors can use the technology however they wish so long as 'reasonable and entire compensation' which is usually "set at ten percent of sales or less". is paid to the patent holder.

So if this tech was patented we should see it in heavy use by the US military by now.

Ehh, kinda. Unlike the Guardians Oh El can still feel other emotions, and it's not like he can stop right now.
Honestly I think he's lying about space not making him harder. He did kill a lot of people and even if it was necessary that doesn't mean he doesn't at least need to decompress from it all.
Going right back to work like this might not have been best for him.

Let's assume that Savage pulled some strings so that didn't happen.

say, what does Earth-16s F-35 prototype have in it? and does anyone else know?

Also the Term of Utility Patents (Which is defined as a patent that covers the creation of a new or improved – and useful – product, process or machine.) in the US is only 20 years from the date of filing.

So it would need to be a rather sustained effort of pulling strings to work out.

You could probably tie it into the whole "SHADE" storyline now that I stop to think about the issue since they probably had at least some ties to Savage.
 
I find it amazing how this latest entry was posted not that long after Elon Musk's (a.k.a real life Lex Luthor/Tony Stark) Falcon X had a pretty successful launch.

That can be handwaved away a number of ways. For example, maybe the Sun is so big and close that it overloads the system, like trying to drink from a fire hose. Or maybe whatever it absorbs from stars is a decay product of something else, and it takes a few light hours before the original emanation decays into the proper form.
